    Lol, poor Natty, might provide a frame for a climber?

    I'm actually embarrassed about the nick of my front garden!!

    I currently have 8 eggs in :D

    A work colleague's sister has egg laying chooks and has been giving me eggs for last couple of weeks. I have an egg (or sometimes two) every single day now ....

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Oh dear... my spending frenzy has moved on from plants...

    Skincare IN 7 :o

    and I have finally used a birthday GV and booked an indulgence deep-cleansing facial for Saturday :T

    Hopefully my skin will thank me!

    Good morning

    I was hoping for a bit of a lie-in this morning... but The Girls decided that it was OK to squawk loudly at 06:09 :mad:

    I can ignore the chuntering but not the squawking - I don't want to annoy the neighbours too much!

    Plans for today:

    Meal plan and write shopping list for next week - should be easy as Mr MWC is away on Monday and I'm away Tuesday to Thursday
    Grocery shopping
    Exchange Mr MWC's new chicken run clogs for a smaller size
    Laundry
    Salon facial
    Decide whether or not to have my eyebrows done... it's booked but I'm undecided... they need a tidy up but I don't want to end up overplucked and looking permanently surprised!

    Plans for the weekend:

    Mow lawn
    Fence off the raised bed area
    Put down weed guard membrane
    Buy several sacks of bark chips and empty around raised beds
    Weed
